x86/vdso32/syscall.S: Do not load __USER32_DS to %ss

This vDSO code only gets used by 64-bit kernels, not 32-bit ones.

On 64-bit kernels, the data segment is the same for 32-bit and
64-bit userspace, and the SYSRET instruction loads %ss with its
selector.

So there's no need to repeat it by hand. Segment loads are somewhat
expensive: tens of cycles.
